Do you guys remember that real time anyone-can-edit chat-like program called moonedit or something? It was linked on Metafilter, and we stormed in and wrote a bunch of awesome haikus. When the idea was brought up that it can't really be a haiku without a seasonal reference, someone wrote this and it always stuck with me: Shout-outs to nature are like shout-outs to rappers. What's up, my nature?

sarcasm is a form of irony which uses sharp wit to highlight the obviousness, stupidity, or annoyance-factor of a situation. What kind of situation could that be?

Great. Just fucking great. More fucking inept haiku Written by morans. Hey, look at me, guys! I know how to count sylla bles! I'm a poet! You want images? Here's one: cock bucket. Want more? Goatse wide for you. Wait. Wait. I kid. The crane spreads its wings wide... Like goatse's asshole.

I wonder how this fad originated? Was some text editor so wholly stunted That it could take just seventeen sounds grunted By browsers while they clicked and masturbated? So many forms of verse you could deploy That would as well express what's always penned When counting five and seven, five and Send, But always it's this little haiku toy. (Unless it's time to talk of knickers dropped, In which case limericks are trundled out To tell us how the vicar gave a shout Or porcupines entwined or condoms popped.) Retire the haiku, please, and see if youse Can find another form youse can abuse.

You people seem to think haikus are all, When as cortex implied before, they're not. The artful lure of sonnet form will call; Pentameter, you'll find, is truly hot. Nay, let us not forego the structured whim: In which sarcasm carefully can wind, Was used for years by lads to score more trim, And demonstrates a clearly greater mind. Thou shan't pretend your time is better used On TPS reports and timesheet card. You know you want to leave Firefox abused, And while the afternoon away just like the Bard. Instead of rushing ill-thought haiku spew Take time to craft true poems for the blue.

Should have perhaps dropped the "away just" from line twelve, sir, or used "day" for "afternoon"; but jolly good, regardless.

By: pineapple

I'm not a sir, sir, but well-spoken that line 12 is off. That's what a speed sonnet will net you.
